I never even considered it. It doesn't bother me at all. I like it as much with as without.

I just got rid of the front bumperettes as well. This is a VERY easy DIY. You take the front bumper off (25 minute job, and change the ballast resistors while you're in there). Then you flip the bumper onto a bench or sawhorses and use a sheet of plastic (such as a bondo spreader) sandwiched between two pieces of masking tape and tape it across the cutout. Then tape the undersides, etc. Then fill with SEM plastic bumper repair. Let dry. Then wet sand with a rubber block and sandpaper.
You'll have to take the bumper to the shop to be painted, but you've just done the 3-4 hours of work that they charge you $800 for. Here's mine after sanding and pre-body shop rattle-can touchup (and yes, the hood is flat black -- it's fiberglass. Some chick sat on the original one at a barbeque and caved it in).

Timabe,
It could not nicer than that, specially the rear. Awesome!
But why did you keep the front plugs?? Couldn't you get rid off them in one job?
Do the fog lights work well?
Wanted to do the same on my Targa!

Yep, I went for it on mine a while back, too.
The metal didn't need anything, so I left the headlight washers alone, but: Painted engine grille, front and rear bumperette delete, euro bumpers, license plate hole delete, Turbo S ducts, euro turns...
